Recent Enforcement Actions
Michael D. Lansky LLC d/b/a Avid Telecom
May 2023 · telecommunications
Indiana co-led the 49-state Avid Telecom lawsuit (with OH, AZ, NC). IN AG Rokita's Robocall Reckoner initiative positioned Indiana as a top-3 robocall enforcement state. Combined with the Startel/Piratel actions and Rising Eagle judgment, Indiana has the most comprehensive VoIP-provider enforcement track record of any state AG office.
Startel Communication LLC / Wanda Hall / Rapid Eagle Inc. d/b/a VoIP Essential Inc.

IN AG Rokita finalized settlements with Startel, Wanda Hall, and VoIP Essential. Companies facilitated 4.8+ million calls to Indiana and hundreds of millions nationwide — including IRS imposter, Social Security, Apple support, and Amazon scams. Civil penalties + injunctive terms. Indiana's enforcement model: start with the gateway providers, follow the money upstream, settle with intermediaries, then pursue the operators. Systematic dismantling of the call chain.
